10 AI Projects to Learn Gemini 3 Nano Banana and Opus 4.5

Today on the AI Daily Brief, 10 AI projects through which you can learn all of these amazing new models that have dropped on us over the last couple of weeks. The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI. Alright, friends. Quick announcements before we dive in. First of all, thank you to today's sponsors, KPMG, Blitsy, Robo, and Robots and Pencils. To get an ad free version of the show, go to patreon.com/aidailybrief, or you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts. And to learn about sponsoring the show or pretty much anything else about the show, you can check out a idailybrief.ai. In some cases, like on the sponsorship, there will also be emails you can point to. In any case, again, it is a idailybrief.ai. And now my friends, let's get practical.

So we're gonna talk about 10 AI projects you can do to learn these new models and better understand their capabilities.
